| Description : | CONDITION: FAIR. DISASSEMBLED & BROKEN. ONE LEG IS MISSING. FLYER IS MISSING AS IS THE ORIGINAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TREADLE & PITMAN. TOY SPINNING WHEEL IS MADE OF SYNTHETIC IVOYR. AT ONE TIME IT COULD BE COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED & THOSE PARTS WHICH WERE SUPPOSED TO MOVE, MOVED. THE ONE LEG MISSING HOLDS THE OTHER END OF A CROSS-PIECE WHICH IN TURN IS THE BASE FOR THE TREADLE. THE PITMAN CONNECTS THE TREADLE TO THE SHAFT OF THE MAIN WHEEL. THE MAIN WHEEL HAS EIGHT SPOKES & RESTS BETWEEN THE DISTAFF HOLDER & THE SPINDLE SUPPORT. THE DISTAFF HOLDER HAS A PIVOTING ARM AT THE TOP WHICH ALLOWS THE DISTAFF TO BE PLACED WHERE NEEDED. THIS HAS BEEN GLUED SOLID ALTHOUGH THE HOLDER STILL PIVOTS. AT THE PIVOT POINT IS A CROSS-PIECE WHICH ATTACHES TO THE SPINDLE SUPPORT BUT IS BROKEN AT THE SPINDLE SUPPORT END. ABOVE THIS CROSS-PIECE IS THE MOTHER-OF-ALL SUPPORT WHICH SUPPORTS THE TWO MAIDENS WHICH IN TURN HOLD THE SPINDLE, BOBBIN & FLYER.
